CheckBox.Text = X... CheckBoxes Text stays Blank C# -

i parse xml document , need, 2 strings (y , z).
work fine. when add string z checkbox text.. text stays blank , checkbox no words.

    list<string> extens = new list<string> { };     string xmlpath = path.getdirectoryname(assembly.getexecutingassembly().location) + "/extraex.xml";      public exten()     {         initializecomponent();     }      private void exten_load(object sender, eventargs e)     {         if (file.exists(xmlpath))         {             xmldocument xml = new xmldocument();             xml.load(xmlpath);             xmlnodelist xnlist = xml.selectnodes("/extras/add");             foreach (xmlnode xn in xnlist)             {                 string y = xn["checked"].innertext;                 string z = xn["exten"].innertext;                  //shows string value!                 messagebox.show(z);                  checkbox cb = new checkbox();                  //cb.text still stays blank?                 cb.text = z;                 flayout.controls.add(cb);             }         }         else         {             messagebox.show("xml file not exist!");         }      } 

try this

cb.text = "fixed value"; 

if text still not shown, make sure checkbox set visible , fits form/windows size

if text shown problem related how z being read file can try cb.text = y;

if text shown sure node exten not exist or contains value need show

and if of above fails call

this.refresh() ;
